OTTAWA CATHOLIC YOUTH

In Ottawa, the first Cursillo was held in 1966 and the first Challenge in 1967. As of May 2005, there have been 145 Challenge Weekends. (In November of 1984, the Challenge Movement went co-ed, adding together the 42 Boy's and 48 Girl's Weekends.)

The English Cursillo Community sponsored and started up a French Cursillo Community in 1975 and also assisted to form an Anglican Community in 1981. The Challenge Community served as well to hold the first Anglican Challenge in January 1981, and in October of 1998 helped to hold the first Montreal Challenge Weekend.
